VIOLIN LESSONS

All violin lessons are taught as private, one-on-one music instruction and are available in lengths of 30, 45, and 60 minutes. We suggest kids and teenagers begin with 30-minute violin lessons and progress to longer lengths as your teacher recommends. For adults who have some previous experience, we recommend starting with 45- or 60-minute lessons.

Because each student is unique in their aspirations, violin lesson plans are tailored to each student by taking their goals, experience, and learning pace into consideration.

KIDS & TEENAGERS

Our teachers strive to be patient and make learning the violin enjoyable for young students. Violin lessons for kids include learning fundamentals, such as posture, bow and left hand technique, and music reading, and fun songs and games are added to keep students interested and engaged.

Teenagers taking violin lessons start with basic technique and perform repertoire from a variety of musical periods. Advanced techniques such as spiccato, shifting, and vibrato are mixed with music theory as students progress.

Students participating in school orchestras and ensembles are encouraged to bring in their music to work on in lessons.

ADULTS

We love beginner adult students! Adults new to playing the violin start with basic technique and and music reading and progress to play repertoire from a variety of musical periods. Intermediate and advanced students are introduced to advanced techniques, scales, speed work, and challenging repertoire.
